  hello my friends,.

  here are some encouraging scriptures for the day:.

  revelation 21:2 i also saw the holy city, new jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from god and prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.. hebrews 11:10 for he (abraham) was awaiting the city having real foundations, whose designer and builder is god.. revelation 21:24 and the nations will walk by means of its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it.. revelation 22:1 and he showed me a river of water of life, clear as crystal, flowing out from the throne of god and of the lamb 2 down the middle of its main street (of the holy city).

  Imagine Jehovah God as a human parent

  James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect present is from above, coming down from the Father of the celestial lights,

  Romans 5:8 But God recommends his own love to us in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

  15…For if by one man’s trespass many died, how much more did the undeserved kindness of God and his free gift by the undeserved kindness of the one man, Jesus Christ, abound to many! 16 For the judgment after one trespass was condemnation, but the gift after many trespasses was a declaration of righteousness.

  Romans 8:32 Since he did not even spare his own Son but handed him over for us all, will he not also, along with him, kindly give us all other things?

  Calab, how can you trust those claims that discredit Daniel as the author of the book of Daniel?

  And besides that, when I read the book of Daniel, I can not think about anything else than that he is the writer of this book. When did you last time read the book of Daniel?

  And may I ask you, how is your relation with Jehovah/Yahweh God?

  Kaleb, what do you say about the Tanakh? I just googled to see if the book of Daniel is there and yes it is.

  Balancing Values:Truth and or Unity

  Yes, the truth is more important than the unity in the end.

  You can overlook some errors for a while, but not too long.

  What's the point of pointing to other religion's false doctrines if you are not allowed to do the same to one's own religion?

  Romans 2:1 Therefore you are inexcusable, O man, whoever you are, if you judge; for when you judge another, you condemn yourself, because you who judge practice the same things.

  19 and you are convinced that you are a guide of the blind, a light for those in darkness, 20 a corrector of the unreasonable ones, a teacher of young children, and having the framework of the knowledge and of the truth in the Law— 21 do you, however, the one teaching someone else, not teach yourself?

  But Jesus refered to the book of Daniel.

  Matthew 24:15 “Therefore, when you catch sight of the disgusting thing that causes desolation, as spoken about by Daniel the prophet, standing in a holy place (let the reader use discernment),

  Daniel 9:27 “And he will keep the covenant in force for the many for one week; and at the half of the week, he will cause sacrifice and gift offering to cease. “And on the wing of disgusting things there will be the one causing desolation; and until an extermination, what was decided on will be poured out also on the one lying desolate.”

  It should be noted that of the 55 prophets listed in the Talmud, Daniel is not one of them, and the Biblical book of Daniel is not included in the Prophets section of the Jewish canon,

  So nice it will be on earth

  Matthew 5:5 “Happy are the mild-tempered, since they will inherit the earth.

  Jesaja 35:1 The wilderness and the parched land will exult, And the desert plain will be joyful and blossom as the saffron. 2 Without fail it will blossom; It will rejoice and shout for joy. The glory of Lebʹa·non will be given to it, The splendor of Carʹmel and of Sharʹon. They will see the glory of Jehovah, the splendor of our God. 3 Strengthen the weak hands, And make firm the knees that are shaking. 4 Say to those who are anxious at heart: “Be strong. Do not be afraid. Look! Your own God will come with vengeance, God will come with retribution. He will come and save you.” 5 At that time the eyes of the blind will be opened, And the ears of the deaf will be unstopped. 6 At that time the lame will leap like the deer, And the tongue of the speechless will shout for joy. For waters will burst forth in the wilderness, And streams in the desert plain. 7 The heat-parched ground will become a reedy pool, And the thirsty ground springs of water. In the lairs where jackals rested, There will be green grass and reeds and papyrus. 8 And a highway will be there, Yes, a way called the Way of Holiness. The unclean one will not travel on it. It is reserved for the one walking on the way; No one foolish will stray onto it. 9 No lion will be there, And no vicious wild beasts will come on it. They will not be found there; Only the repurchased ones will walk there. 10 Those redeemed by Jehovah will return and come to Zion with a joyful cry. Unending joy will crown their heads. Exultation and rejoicing will be theirs, And grief and sighing will flee away.

  Duran I liked your comment and the parallell scriptures you quoted. 😊👍

  Yes, the Watchtower organization needs to come to its end. I am confident that Jehovah God and Jesus have directed and accomplished much through them, just like the jewish religious system that existed in Jesus' days had accomplished much. But it was not good enough, as today the Watchtower organization is not good enough. Actually they have shown that they stubornly persist in many falshoods and false unacceptable unbiblical practises. Therefore Jehovah and Jesus can not tolerate the Watchtower organization indefinetly.

  The prophecy in Daniel 8 says that this destruction that will occure to "the sanctuary" is because of their transgressions.

  Verse 12 And an army was given over, together with the constant feature, because of transgression;

  The end to the Watchtower organization is foretold in the Bible:

  Daniel 8:9 Out of one of them came another horn, a small one, and it grew very great toward the south and toward the east and toward the Decoration. 10 It grew so great that it reached all the way to the army of the heavens, and it caused some of the army and some of the stars to fall to the earth, and it trampled them down. 11 It exalted itself even against the Prince (Jesus) of the army, and from him the constant feature was taken away, and the established place of his sanctuary was thrown down. 12 And an army was given over, together with the constant feature, because of transgression; and it kept throwing truth to the earth, and it acted and had success.

  17 So he came near to where I was standing, but when he came I was so terrified that I fell facedown. He said to me: “Understand, O son of man, that the vision is for the time of the end.”

  19 Then he said: “Here I am causing you to know what will happen in the final part of the denunciation, because it is for the appointed time of the end.

  23 “And in the final part of their kingdom, as the transgressors act to a completion, a fierce-looking king who understands ambiguous sayings will stand up. 24 His power will become great, but not through his own power. He will bring ruin in an extraordinary way, and he will be successful and act effectively. He will bring mighty ones to ruin, also the people made up of the holy ones. 25 And by his cunning he will use deception to succeed; and in his heart he will exalt himself; and during a time of security he will bring many to ruin. He will even stand up against the Prince of princes, but he will be broken without human hand.

  Verse 11 that says: "the established place of his sanctuary was thrown down".

  Isn't this the Watchtower organization and a foretold end to it?
